  • "Beautifully kept and maintained property."

    The owner has made every effort to ensure guests have everything they are likely to need for a comfortable stay. Must also mention the communication from the Housekeeper informing us that the house would be ready early if we wanted to get there sooner and advised about the town firework display in case we wanted to take precautions if we had a nervous dog.

    Thank you for the review we appreciate the feedback. Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful time at Beach View, everything you could possibly wish for was there including treats for the dogs and a lovely welcome pack of scones, clotted cream and jam."

    The views were breathtaking and my husband made full use of the hot tub despite saying before we went he didn't like them. The beds were lovely and comfy and you didn't want to get out in a morning. I'd definitely recommend Beach View to anyone wanting a five star holiday.

    We are pleased you had a good time and thank you for the fabulous feedback. Property Owner

  • "Modern home set in a beautiful location."

    The views are stunning and do not disappoint. The house itself is equipped with everything you could want, very much a home away from home. Our only grumble was the lack of shade on the outside terrace. We were afforded wonderful weather during our stay but no umbrella or other shade was provided which meant the seating area outside was blasted with sun all day. Considering one of our party was recently diagnosed with skin cancer this made the balcony area unusable for the majority of the day.

    Thank you for your kind comments about the house. We are sorry you found the lack of shade a problem, we have tried parasols in the past which have blown away due to the property being on the sea front with strong winds. We will consider the possibility of alternatives for the future. Property Owner

  • "Fantastic place to stay in, clean and tidy with the most amazing views."

    Drive up to the house is not the best experience, very tight angles and steep climb. This was explained in the booking though and unfortunately I did incur a puncture as I tried to negotiate the hill climb in the dark, but tyre fixed and that didn't spoil a great holiday.

  • "Lovely house with stunning views and every amenity you could possibly wish for."

    I do however feel that I have to mark it down just a bit because of the access to the house. We have a relatively large SUV and it was quite challenging getting through the bends and up the very sharp incline. Also our grand children's pushchair was a workout as well.

  • "We had a truly wonderful stay at Beach View!"

    The house was beautifully presented, so spacious, spotlessly clean and really well equipped with everything you could need for your stay. A little note and treats welcomed us which was very thoughtful and a lovely touch. The views from the balcony are just stunning and we loved sitting out there on the lovely furniture watching the sunset. The hot tub was a big hit too ! Combe Martin itself is a lovely village with lots to do, we had a fantastic time paddle boarding and kayaking. Also great places to eat and drink and take in the beautiful views. Would highly recommend a stay at Beach View !

  • "The property was fresh and clean and seemed quite new."

    Designed to make the most of the spectacular views with large windows and beautiful terrace. The kitchen was well equiped and all details had been catered for. Our granddog came too and he too felt most welcome. The children and grandchildren loved the hot tub and the walk up and down to the beach kept us all excercised (: we had torrential rain on several occasions (beautiful to watch over the sea) but this resulted in poor water quality (a Nationwide problem). The local traders were delightful and we enjoyed paddle boarding and a great kayak tour. All in all a brilliant holiday and thise views will stay with us for a long time.

  • "Beautiful house, the view was amazing!"

    , Lovely furnishings, very comfortable and finished to a high standard. You really don’t need to take anything as it’s well equipped. The only thing I would say, it states the access is a bit tight but I think it should come with a caution to certain vehicles. We have a Ford Ranger and that was very tricky to get get in and out of the lane as it’s extremely tight. Would definitely stay again

    Thank you for lovely comments, regarding the access we will look at adding some more info on to the listing. Property Owner

  • "We were very happy with our stay at Beach View."

    The property was beautifully appointed, very well maintained and spotlessly clean. It was also very well equipped for self catering. The house is located high above the beach at Combe Martin with a very good outside area with fantastic views, stylish & comfortable seating area and, on a lower level, a hot tub. Combe Martin itself was nice, with a beach and coastline that was good for swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking. A smaller, attached beach was dog friendly, as were a decent pub and cafe. The house was also well located for getting into Ilfracombe and to great beaches at Woolacombe, Croyde & Saunton. I would highly recommend this lovely property. Thank you.

    Thank you for your lovely comments. We are so pleased you enjoyed our house. Property Owner

Presented to an excellent standard over two floors, Beach View provides a sumptuous escape for a family of eight seeking a coastal escape to Devon.

The open-plan living space is bright and airy, courtesy of the floor to ceiling windows that provide an outlook to the beach and sea.

Take a seat on the L-shaped sofa and flick on the TV for entertainment, whilst the chef of the group takes over the kitchen and prepares a hearty dish, finished with sleek units and integrated appliances.
